UserPropertyProviderMapper (Core XMPP Server 4.4.1 API)

```
public interface UserPropertyProviderMapper
```
Implementations are used to determine what UserPropertyProvider is to be used for a particular username. Note that the provided username need not reflect a pre-existing user (the instance might be used to determine in which provider a new user is to be created). Implementation must have a no-argument constructor.

  - getUserPropertyProvider
```
UserPropertyProvider getUserPropertyProvider(String username)
```
    Finds a suitable UserPropertyProvider for the user. Note that the provided username need not reflect a pre-existing user (the instance might be used to determine in which provider a new user is to be created). Implementations are expected to be able to find a UserPropertyProvider for any username. If an implementation fails to do so, such a failure is assumed to be the result of a problem in implementation or configuration.
    
    Parameters:
    
    username - A user identifier (cannot be null or empty).
    
    Returns:
    
    A UserPropertyProvider for the user (never null).
  - getUserPropertyProviders
```
Set<UserPropertyProvider> getUserPropertyProviders()
```
    Returns all providers that are used by this instance. The returned collection should have a consistent, predictable iteration order.
    
    Returns:
    
    all providers (never null).
